Publisher's summary

Family. Cultivation. Racing.

Oto has taken his first steps towards the life he’s always dreamed of, but that means he has more to lose than ever before.

Dreams are expensive, though, and the Ocean Slayers need cash to pay their debts - and safe cash isn’t fast enough.

With his options disappearing quickly, only bad choices remain. He'll have to push himself and his team to the brink just for the chance to keep all of their dreams alive...

Some things are worth risking everything for.

awesome book

I listened to zero car and just finished zero derby . I'm a mechanic so this book really spoke to me ! combining something I love (racing) with so much more action and drama , I can't get enough of it . hopefully the third book will make it to audible soon !!!

the narrator made it interesting with the ability to change pitch and tone and the multiple character voices . you knew who was talking everytime and their emotions . it felt more like I was watching it in my head than listening to a book . thank you for your excellent performance and thank you to the author for such a great story line .

Racing litrpg with cultivation?! Sign me up!

This was very interesting to read, I had not seen many racing litrpg, and while I have seen combinations of cultivation with litrpg, or at least it is easy to make the comparison, I had not seen all three together. And I definitely enjoyed it. It has a lot more to get into, but it was fun, kept me glued to the headphones and wanting to know more. A great story of growth, realization and adapting to change. Our protagonist has to race some more on his amazing sentient, talking, superpowered, racing car. Also in motorcycles while fending off monsters, and try to keep himself and those dear to him alive in all kinds of situations. The audio is really good, no complains at all. I would definitely recommend this!

Fun sequel

It is cool to get more content in unique cultivation world. I really enjoyed the progression through the book. It is exciting that there should be another book in our future too! Baldree is a fantastic narrator.

Great continuation - great hidden gem

Book 2 continues where book 1 left off. I strongly recommend reading book 1 before book 2

The story continues to be more of a slice of life / drama romance than a racing story but instead of normal progression from book 1 this introduces and focuses on a secondary progression area with elemental infinity instead of raw stats.

The story itself is still well written and kept me engaged the whole time. Alex and Travis works seem to be performed in sync and did not find myself wanting more from the performance to match the words.

Overall, this book should be getting more recognition from the litrpg/gamelit genre than it has. While it’s not the typical combat combat combat, the story is one of the more polished I’ve had had the pleasure of listening to.

thrilling!

Great story and narration!

A boy and his car! Okay, so a young man and his sentient vehicle. The gang is back, with more races, cultivation, and intrigue! The series continues in an epic way with this book!

Travis does a fantastic job with the narration!

This is a phenomenal second book of a series!

I love this story and can't wait to find out what happens next!

really fantastic

A great series so far, an interesting sci fi take on cultivation. a little stats lite in the litrpg side of it. Character development is pretty impressive in this series. the narration is great. there is very little to complain about in this book

A fine continuation
